Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Rob Holding is destined to play for England.
Arsenal signed the 21-year-old defender for just £2.5million from League One outfit Bolton last summer.
"Rob Holding is a promising defender, with a great future for England," Wenger said.
"He's intelligent, and very shrewd to analyse after the game.
"You make him analyse, and I always feel that a common trait with all the great players I have met in my life is that if you ask them how they played, they tell you accurately what happened, with the mistakes they made too.
"You always think they have a chance, he does that extremely well. I would say there is a potential that he could be one of those gems, I will follow his career for the future, because I think he will be an England international."
